How quickly the tides turn. It rises, and I know it has to come down, but when it does, I’m always strangely surprised. Call me gullible to believe the so-recent promises of the sea. It’s water. It’s fluid. It’s forever changing. Even if the sea hadn’t told me itself of its consistent inconsistence, I should have seen it, known it, felt it.
It just stings, is all. The contrast always rips me, calls me a fool.
what happened?! sounds so ominous.
Well, the short version is that I drowned a little last nite when I didn’t expect to, and I’m disappointed in myself for not having expected it.
Why did you drown, Sweetie? Don’t drown. We’d BOTH be sad.
Raoul and I have decided that you are the “Asian Iris,” a.k.a., “Cindy Murdoch.” I’ll come down tomorrow or Friday (because I’m doing your re-trial motion Friday morning) and tell you whom we’re talking about. In short, Iris Murdoch is, in my view, the greatest mind (in re human nature) since Shakespeare. We call you “Cindy Murdoch.” Draw your own conclusions, each of which is well deserved.
I got to have a little chat with Mr. W. yesterday. Count yourself lucky he “plays for your team,” or I’d bitch-slap you bloody to steal him from you. Okay. I could NEVER bitch-slap YOU. But he is quite the man among men. Well done, my sweet. Men who even MIGHT qualify for your company are few indeed. But Mr. W. certainly makes the short list. I am happy for you.
See you soon, “Cindy Murdoch.”
With my limitless admiration,
Friar Tuck
Thanks for your compliments, Steve. Even the odd, back-handed ones. And yes, I agree that Mr. W does make himself quite the good impression. That’s how he trapped me in the first place.
[…] In loving memory and commemoration: Post #494 re watching Brokeback Mountain with him, and a dialogue in Comments with him. Post #521 re the ice cream he made at my commission. Post #525 in which he left nice comments. Post #580 in which he left nice comments. Post #583 in which he left nice comments. Post #584 re resolving an issue with Mr. W in which Steve left nice comments. Post #597 in which he loaned me the movie “Iris.” Post #599 in which I reviewed the movie “Iris.” He was disappointed in the way I didn’t enjoy Iris’s character the way he had worshipped her, altho he didn’t comment on this on the post. Post #623 with a brief summary of Georgie’s situation. […]
